best mobile ice bath system available anywhere.
There are four versions of the iCool Compacts. The operation of all 4 models is basically
the same except where noted.

supply hose from the pool to the pump and no part of the hose from the pool
to the pump can be above the level of the water because this will trap air that
can prevent water from flowing to the pump.
There are several easy ways to clear trapped air. For example, by touching
the PUMP ON OFF button 3 or 4 times so the pump is off for about 5 to 10
seconds each time. The surge when the pump starts can often clear the
trapped air but it may take a few times if there is a lot of trapped air.
If you still do not have a good flow of water, with the pump running, undo the
levers on the snap hose tting that connects the hose from the pump to the
bottom inlet on the iCool. There is no need to remove the tting, just open the
levers and this will allow any trapped air to escape. As soon as you see water
coming out of tting, quickly snap it back into position and lock it again.
YOU ONLY NEED TO BLEED THE SYSTEM ONCE FOR EACH SET UP
Once primed of air, the system will remain primed and water will normally
flow instantly each time you start the pump until the pool is emptied or the
iCool is moved.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER
Water pumps can not operate for long periods without water because the
water provides the lubrication to the bearings. To prevent damage, your
iCool system will shut down the pump automatically if water is not flowing
properly for more than 2 minutes. If this happens a warning screen will
normally appear to explain to you how to correct the problem.
POOL SETUP ADVICE
Before you turn on your iCool system you must set up and ll the pool. iCool
portable inflatable pools and hard pools come with their own instructions
and are easy to set up. Just be sure that they are in the position you require
before you ll them with water as the weight of the water will make it
impossible to move them once they are lled.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CHLORINE, SALT AND BROMIDE
All iCool Compact models are tted with the latest chemical and salt
resistant Titanium Heat Exchanger tanks, however we highly recommend
that chlorine should only be used in very small doses to prevent skin and
eye irritation to pool users and to extend the life of metal parts such as the
circulating pump in your iCool. In cold water, Chlorine is very effective in
small doses of just 1.5 parts per million, (1.5 ml per litre).
For example an iCool inflatable pool needs only half a teacup full of chlorine
per daily session and only if the water is to be used again. If the water is to
be discarded after one session chlorine is not needed at all.
The use of salt serves no practical purpose in ice bath therapy and should be
avoided as salt is very corrosive.
Household rst aid disinfectants such as Dettol or similar can be used instead
of chlorine, they are very effective for bacterial control and will not harm your
iCools components. 2 to 4 capfuls per day is usually enough. iCool also
produces a very effective anti bacterial solution especially formulated use
with for ice bath pools and equipment. Please see our website for details.
04 iCool Compact
Occasionally you may experience some difculty getting the water to flow
correctly through your icool due to trapped air in the system or the hoses.
Please read these simple instructions to learn how to correct this.
THE PUMP
Water flow through your iCool is produced by a high quality long life
circulating pump.
Circulating type pumps can lift and move water reliably for many thousands
of hours, however, just like swimming pool and spa pumps, they do not
provide suction and are therefore not self priming. Self priming diaphram
type pumps are not as reliable over long periods and so are not suitable for
this type of operation.
The pump with your iCool can not begin to operate correctly unless it is fed
with a head of water from a pool where the level is above the pump and
any air tapped in the feeding hoses is removed. The water in the pool must
be above the pump before you start it. There must be no air trapped in the
IMPORTANT
ADVICE
SAFETY NOTICE
ON WATER FLOW
POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
iCools can only be used with the voltage marked on the machine, they are
not multi voltage. The voltage is marked next to the main power socket.
TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION THE POWER OUTLET YOU USE MUST
HAVE A PROPER EARTH CONNECTION.
BUILT IN SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your iCool system has many safety features to protect against such things
as a loss of water flow, overheating of the system, or any chance of the user
receiving an electrical shock. If any such potentially dangerous thing should
occur, in most cases your iCool will shut itself down and a red warning
screen will appear to assist you to identify and correct the problem. In the
case of overheating, the main fan will continue to run for some time until the
temperature is safely back to normal. For the safety of users, any leakage of
even a small amount of electrical current will cause the system to Instantly
remove all electrical power. In the unlikely event that your system shuts itself
down for any of these reasons, you must identify and correct the problem
that has caused the safety systems to operate before allowing anyone to
use the system.
PLEASE TEST THE EARTH LEAKAGE SAFETY DEVICE REGULARLY
The main power switch is also part of the electrical safety circuit that can
prevents the possibility of electric shock. It is essential to test this safety
system each time you use the iCool to make certain it is operating correctly.
This is very easy to do and takes only a few seconds. Turn on the main
switch and then press the orange test button just above the switch. If the
safety system is working normally, pressing the test button will cause the
main power switch to shut off instantly. After a successful test, reset the
main switch to ON to begin normal operation. If pressing the test button fails
to instantly shut off the power switch. DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM until you
contact iCool for advice. Failures of this system are very rare.
WARNING
Never use bromide or bromine based products, they are
extremely corrosive and can damage the metal parts

Owner’s manual for iCool Recovery Systems
Before you ll the pool you must connect the 2
hoses provided
ICool hoses have convenient snap ttings that are very quick and easy
to use. Your 2016 model features a built in lteration system to help
keep the water clean.
Water Level
The water level in the pool must be above the water inlet to the pump.
Your iCool must be on the same level surface as the pool. It must not
be above the pool.

STEP 3
STEP 4
Connect the special I.E.C plug from the pump to
the marked socket on the side of the iCool
Connect Main Power Cable
Connect the main power cable provided with your iCool to a standard
power outlet capable of providing at least 12 amps in countries with a
220 V supply and 24 amps in countries with a 110 V supply. Although
the system requires much less power than this in normal operation, all
heat pump compressor motors need considerably more power for a
minute or so each time they starts up.
Your System Software will begin loading
Your iCool has a full colour high-resolution touchscreen that eliminates
all switches and provides complete control over your iCool system in a
user-friendly and intuitive manner.
It also provides a substantial amount of additional information to assist
you. When you turn on the power for the rst time the system will load
the latest software from its memory card and run a diagnostic self test
routine. This will take about 20 seconds. During this time you will see
this screen (shown at right) and then a BLACK screen.
The System Status Bars will ash white
The STATUS BARS on each side at the front of the iCool will change colour
or flash to give a clear indication of each function. While the software is
loading the status bars will flash white, the screen shown at right will be
seen , then a black screen appears for about 15 seconds while computers
tests the safety systems.
The Main Power Switch
The Main Power Switch is also part of the ELECTRICAL SAFETY CIRCUIT that guards against the possibility of electric shock. Every electric
component in the iCool is protected by this device. It is a good idea to test this system each time you use the iCool by turning on the main switch
and then pressing the test button above the switch. If the safety system is working normally, pressing the test button will cause the main power
switch to shut down instantly.
After a SUCCESSFUL test, reset the main switch to ON to begin normal operation. If this test fails you must have your iCool checked by an
electrician before using it. It may not be safe.
WARNING
For safety, the power outlet you use must be earthed correctly. Your
pump must connect to the iCool not to an external power socket
WARNING
Always use this power socket, it provides electric safety
protection to the pump and your pool users.

STEP 5
Touch the start pump button. This will start the pump operating and
water should begin circulating.
NOTE! When you touch START buttons they change to STOP buttons
and can then be used to STOP that function if required.
It is essential that the water is flowing correctly before you TOUCH the
start SYSTEM button. The water flow is pre set to an optimum flow of
about 15-20 litres or around 3-5 gallons per minute. This allows time
for the heat exchanger to operate at maximum cooling efciency. Pool
water is completely changed approximately every 15 to 20 minutes.Do
not touch the START SYSTEM button until you are sure that water is
flowing smoothly. If water does not flow smoothly within a minute or
so, please check that the hose with the pump is flat on the floor and no
part of it is higher than the top of the water. Check that the water in the
pool is higher than the pump. If this does not correct the problem the
system will sound an alarm and a red warning screen will appear with
information about how to correct the water flow problem.
Main Operating Screen
Personal Logo Screens
Water Temperature Setting Screen
After the self test is completed, your personal logo screen or a
WELCOME screen will appear. Touching this screen anywhere will stop
the bars flashing and show a steady white light to indicate that the
systems check was successful and that your iCool is ready to use.
The Status bars glow BLUE when only the pump is running, GREEN
when the cooling system is running and RED when the heating system
is running.
If the bars glow RED when you start cooling please refer to page 8 for
an explanation of the heat mode functions.
If you ordered a personal logo screen your WELCOME screen will
look like the samples (right). Otherwise the standard iCool welcome
screen will appear. touch YOUR logo OR WELCOME screen anywhere
to continue.
The Main Operating Screen will now appear
The main operating screen provides many options which are covered
elsewhere in this manual, however to quickly start the system you
can simply accept the default water temperature setting of 15ºC or,
to select a different temperature touch the CHANGE settings button.
Then 10ºC will be inserted automatically, but you can change to any
temperature you require at this point. Simply touch the up and down
arrow buttons and the desired pool water temperature will appear on
the bottom left-hand of the screen in the blue window marked “selected
temperature”. The right-hand side of the screen shows the outside air
temperature.
The temperatures is in degrees centigrade, however it can also be
displayed in Fahrenheit. This is explained later in this Manual.
Once you have selected the pool water temperature you want your iCool
to cool to, touch the start button. This takes you back to the main run
screen which is the screen that you will use most of the time during
normal operation.

STEP 6
Now that you have pre set your desired temperature and started the
circulating pump, notice that the pump button will have changed from
start to stop. You can use this same button to start and stop the pump at
any time.
Now, touch the start system button and the cooling cycle will begin. The
water will be cooled to your preset temperature and the system will then
cycle to maintain it at that temperature automatically. The SYSTEM can
only be started once within any 3 minute period to avoid overloading
the compressor. So if you don’t hear it start do not touch the START
SYSTEM again , it will start automatically after the 3 minutes safety
period elapses.
In an emergency you can stop all functions immediately by touching
the “ALL STOP” button However, if the cabinet is hot, only the fan may
continue to run until the cabinet has cooled.
For the safety of users, you can not set temperatures below 5°C or
above 45°C. (40°F-112°F)
Some models have the ability to heat as well as cool
If your iCool is a contrast MODEL, then depending on the temperature
you set, it will either heat or cool the water automatically to reach your
preset temperature and then maintain it at that temperature. It heats by
modern heat pump technology using as much as 70% less electricity
than conventional electric spa heaters.
Setting up to use the Heating Mode
For safety reasons you can only initiate the heating mode at the time
the unit is rst switched on. You can not change to heating while you
are using it in the cooling mode or vice versa. You must switch off at the
main switch and start again to change modes.
Your iCool selects either cooling or heating automatically
If you set the temperature to a value that is BELOW the current water
temperature in your pool it will automatically begin COOLING when you
touch the START SYSTEM button.
If you set the temperature to a value that is ABOVE the current water
temperature in your pool it will automatically begin HEATING when you
touch the START SYSTEM button.
To use the heating function use the up down arrows to select the hot
temperature you require up to 45ºC (or 108ºF) and then touch the
START button. This takes you back to the main operating screen where
you can now start the PUMP and the SYSTEM as usual. The status bar
on top of the unit will turn RED when you touch the START button to
indicate that your iCool is now heating. It will continue to heat until it
reaches your pre set temperature and then hold that temperature for
as long as you wish.
You must use a pool cover when heating the water
We all understand that heat rises, so you must use a cover on top of
your pool when heating it or you will lose a large amount of the heat
energy into the room and it will take much longer to heat the water.
The Loss of Water Flow Warning Screen
If water stops flowing for more than two minutes the iCool will sound
a warning and shut down. This screen shown here will appear.
The Water Flow Warning Screen also provides an option to over ride
the water flow protection system in the rare situation of a false alarm.
Once you use this function to disarm the flow safety monitor nothing
will stop the system even if water is not flowing and this can seriously
damage the pump as it will have no lubrication or cooling from the
water.
This over ride function is only to be used for short periods where it is
essential to keep your system operating until the reason for the false
alarm can be determined and corrected.
Water flow can also stop if the heat exchanger tank is frozen solid
If you set the temperature below about 7ºC or (45ºF) it is occasionally
possible in certain climatic conditions for the heat exchanger tank to
freeze solid which will block the flow of water.
In order to cool the pool water to these extremely low temperatures the
system must cool to at least 5 to 7ºC below the set temperature and
this takes it very close to the temperature that water freezes solid.
Following international safety standards your iCool will not accept
water temperature settings below 5ºC or (40ºF) as this would put
athletes using the system unattended at risk of hypothermia. The iCool
is easily powerful enough to freeze the water and if this happens the
safety screen above will appear and the system will stop.
WARNING
Never use the water flow protection overide option unless you
are absolutely certain that the system has stopped because of
a false water flow alarm
Warning Screen

09
Owner’s manual for iCool Recovery Systems
The pool temperature window shows the actual water temperature
returning from the pool. This will vary slightly to the actual temperature
in the pool because for safety reasons the electronic sensor is in the
cooling unit, not in the pool. It accurately reads the actual temperature
of the water that is returning to the pool. The actual pool temperature
will be slightly different depending on your particular setup. The
temperature is always accurately maintained but if you want an
actual pool temperature within 1 degree you can simply set an offset
amount to compensate for the difference when selecting your required
temperature. An offset can be selected by a jumper on the circuit board.
Contact iCool for details.
The heat pump temperature window shows the temperature inside the
cabinet. If this exceeds 70°C or 158°F the system will shut down, an
alarm will sound and a warning screen will appear. This could happen in
extremely hot conditions or if the unit is covered by an object such as a
towel or anything that prevents proper airflow.
The outside temperature window shows the current room or outside
temperature. It is not desirable to operate this system in temperatures
above 42°C or 108° F. If the reading exceeds this you need to move
the system to a cooler area or improve the air flow. The preset
temperature window always shows your selected temperature. This is
the temperature the water will be automatically cooled (or heated) to
and maintained at.
Changing the temperature setting
You can change your preset temperature at any time by touching the
change setting button, this will take you to the change settings screen.
From here you proceed as described previously.
Changing FROM COOLING TO HEATING If you have the DUAL TEMP
model you can also heat your pool up to 45ºC for contrast therapy,
however, for safety reasons you cannot change directly from heating to
cooling or cooling to heating. To do this you must switch off the entire
system at the main switch and start again. This is required to prevent
the system from changing modes accidentally.
See setting up heating mode on page 8
Fan Speeds
The “Cool” model only has one speed
During normal operation the main fan will automatically change speeds
as required to maintain the highest efciency. The fan will be at full
speed when temperatures are high or the water is warm.
You can display the pool temperature at full-screen size
If you touch the number in the pool temperature window on the Main
Operation Screen for a few seconds the screen will change to a full-
screen display of that temperature. This is useful if you wish to monitor
the system from a distance. The pre-set temperature and the outside
temperature continued to display in smaller windows for your reference.
To return to the main operating screen touch the BACK 1 button.
To stop the system at the end of your recovery session
There are several ways to stop the system and close it down. You can
stop the cooling system by touching the stop system button, in this
case the pump will continue to run. You can stop to pump at any time
by touching the stop pump button. You can stop everything by touching
the all stop button. Alternatively you can simply switch off the main
power. If you use the all stop button the fan may continue to run for a
short time to cool the cabinet. Because the system will not run without
water, touching stop pump also stops the heat pump if it is already
running.
Emptying the pool using the Pumps
You can use the main circulating pump to empty the water from the
pool by detaching the hose that runs from the pump to the iCool. The
pool water can then be directed to a drain. The pump can be turned on
and off at any time using the pump stop/start button.

Temperature Settings
When your iCool starts up, you are offered 3
different ways to choose a water temperature
setting. Whichever method you choose it eventually
takes you to the main run screen. If you make no
setting, the system will automatically insert 15°C.
(around 59ºF) In this case you can proceed directly
to start the pump and cooling system.
If you want to make a different temperature setting,
you touch the CHANGE setting button and this will
take you to the water temperature setting screen
illustrated below, where you can use the up and
down arrows to select the temperature you require.
After you make your setting touch the start button to go to the main
screen where you can start both the pump and the cooling system and
where all relevant temperature information is clearly displayed.
After you start the system running you can view the actual water
temperature in full screen by touching the blue POOL TEMPERATURE
square at the bottom left of the main screen for more than 2 seconds
When your iCool starts up, the rst screen you
will see offers you a system settings button. THE
BEST SETTINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED
so there is usually no need to use this feature. The
three settings you can change are the fan speed
range, the temperature from degrees Centigrade to
Fahrenheit and the sound level from the screen.
Main Cooling Fan Speed
This allows you to set the main cooling fan to either NORMAL or QUIET
MODE. Generally you should always leave it in the NORMAL mode
which is fully automatic and allows the system to control the fan speed
to give the very best efciency and fastest cooling.
Quiet Mode
Models with 3 speed fans only
If you are in a very quiet environment you can select QUIET MODE, but
you must be aware that this will reduce the cooling ability of the system,
however it will be quieter overall as the fan will not run higher than 60%
of maximum unless there is a risk of overheating, in which case the
safety system will turn the fan back to high no matter what the setting.
The NORMAL setting is used to give absolute maximum cooling power
where higher fan noise is not a problem. On a normal day this gives about
30% more cooling than in the QUIET MODE. If cooling seems lower than
normal, check to see if this feature was previously set to Quiet Mode.
Temperature Display Scale
This can be set to either Centigrade or Fahrenheit and this changes all
of the displays throughout the entire system. When you rst start the
iCool it will normally start in Centigrade as this is the world standard.
Due to complex decimal calculations between Cº and Fº there may be
minor difference in the true Fº displays. This has no effect on actual
cooling accuracy.
The sound level adjusts the sounds made by touching the screen and
by the alarms. Normally it should be left on high to assist with settings
and to make sure alarms are heard. A red dot indicates which setting
is selected in each of the available settings.

displayed on the main clock display screen.
As the same arrows are used to set all three time functions, to avoid
confusion, a red dot appears next to be button of the function being set.
Recovery Session Timer Functions
A very popular and useful feature of your iCool is the session
countdown timer. This allows you to accurately control the immersion
times of athletes and to repeat those times as often as needed. This
is an essential part of successful cryo recovery therapy and is just as
important as maintaining accurate and consistent temperatures, which
of course your iCool does perfectly.
The session timer is set up from the main time setting screen by
touching the set countdown button. The numbers on the setting screen
in the bottom right-hand corner will begin to flash and you can use
the left, right and up, down arrows to change the time in minutes and
seconds. Once you have set the time you want your athletes to remain
in the bath, touching the display countdown full-screen button will take
you to the screen illustrated on the next page. This screen allows you
to see the countdown from a distance and also to control it in various
convenient ways. The current pool temperature and the outside
temperature will also be displayed.
The count down can be set for once only, or it can repeat automatically
as many times as you like. This is particularly convenient if you have a
number of athletes using the same pool at the same time. The system
beeps for each of the last ve seconds at the end of each countdown
to warn the athletes to get ready to get either in or out of the pool
and pauses for several seconds to allow the changeover before the
countdown begins again (if it is set in the repeat mode).
Temperature Limitations
Because of the dangers of hypothermia in the case of an unattended
athlete using the pool, your system will not allow you to set temperatures
below 5°C/40°F. If the model you are using is the contrast model
which also provides heating for contrast therapy you cannot set the
temperature above 45°C/112°F because of the risk of scalding. These
temperature limits have been set after wide consultation with the
sporting industry around the world. There are no demonstrated benets
in using water temperature lower than 5°C or above 45°C and therefore
the risk of doing so is not justied. If you really do need lower or higher
temperatures for any reason, iCool can change the software on request,
but this modication is at the owner’s risk.
Timing Functions
Your iCool offers a number of very useful timing
functions including a real-time clock, a countdown
timer to time recovery and training sessions and a
timer to shut down the system automatically at a
predetermined time after use. To set up and use
these functions touch the timer function button
on the home screen. You can reach this screen by
using the back 1 button or the home button.
You can display the time of day on the built-in clock.
To set the clock touch the set main clock button
on the timing functions screen and the time setting
display on the bottom right of the screen will begin flashing. You must
set it while one of the numbers is flashing by using the up down and
left right keys. Once you stop using these keys for more than a few
seconds the display will stop flashing and the time showing is set into
the system and the clock begins operating.
The iCool clock operates in the universal 24-hour time style.
Automatic System Shutdown Timer
You can preset your iCool to shut down at any time up to ve hours
in the future. This is very convenient for coaches and specialists who
may want to leave the training area early but want to make sure that
the system is not left running needlessly. To set this
time, touch the set shut down button and the clock
digits on the bottom right of the screen will begin
to flash as with setting the clock. Use the same
up down and left right arrows to set the number of
hours and minutes you wish to elapse before the
system automatically shuts down. The system

As you can see, iCool Systems have attractive user interfaces, this makes them easy and very intuitive to use, but the downside
is that untrained people sometimes like to play with the colourful touchscreens. As with any sophisticated piece of equipment
when people start pressing buttons at random anything can happen. Your iCool has many safety features to prevent a person
tampering with the system from causing a disaster, but most of these safety features involve automatically shutting down the
system which of course is undesirable.
We have covered this by installing a secret locking routine. It is a good idea to keep this secret to as few people as possible.
To lock the screen so that no further inputs can be made, touch and hold the iCool icon on the main run screen for more than 10 seconds (you
can only lock from this main screen). A picture of a lock will appear. While ever this lock is visible it is not possible to make any inputs or to change
screens.
To unlock the system and returned to normal, repeat the procedure. Touch and hold the iCool icon for more than 10 seconds. The lock will disappear
and all functions will return to normal.

You can flip forward or backwards from page to page using the buttons on the right-hand side of the help screens or you can return to be main help

The built-in illustrated help system is a revolutionary new idea and we are constantly updating it as new information and new feedback comes in
from all over the world from iCool clients and from our recovery research programs in several countries.
Some help pages may not be installed on your iCool when it is delivered, so that your local dealer can install them to suit your country and sport. This
may lead to a computer crash if some pages are missing. You will need to restart your iCool if this happens, to reset the main computer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
IF YOUR SCREEN FREEZES OR FAILS TO RESPOND
As with all computers and computer controlled devices it is possible
that occasionally the system could freeze due to data or software
conflicts. Your iCool has 2 computers that monitor and communicate
with each other. Occasionally a data error can cause them to stop
communicating. We have designed the system to be as fail safe as
possible. In most cases if the screen freezes the main computer will
still carry on running the system and monitoring the safety features
but you will not be able to change anything. You can either allow it to
keep running if that is more convenient, or you can restore the system
to normal operation by switching off the main power and re starting,
exactly as you would do if your computer or smart phone freezes.
The system will always reset to normal when you restart it.
When your screen rst starts up and the welcome screen appears
a small warning notice may appear in the centre of the screen for
one or two seconds referring to the inter computer communication
requirements, this is normal.
Emergency Override Provisions
Certain safety features in your iCool can be overridden in the event of
a partial failure
ICool systems are very reliable and have attained an excellent reputation
around the world for this. In addition we have done all that we can in the
designs to build-in ways to work around any partial failure, so that you are
not prevented from using your system for an important event. There are
some circumstances in which it would be acceptable to temporarily override
certain safety systems that may become too sensitive and cause trouble
until they can be properly readjusted. This allows systems to continue to
operate in circumstances where otherwise it might not be possible. Of
course we do not advise the overriding of electrical safety circuits.
For example, depending on the way your system has been set up, it
sometimes occurs that the water flow monitoring system may be
too sensitive and will stop the pump because it appears that water
is not flowing properly. We allow this to be over ridden if it becomes
troublesome. Instructions on how to do this will appear on the screen
automatically if this happens. It must be remembered of course that if
you disarm this system the pump is no longer protected from running
dry without water lubrication, so it is essential that you manually
monitor the water flow. Our staff can assist you by phone or e-mail to
overcome most problems on the spot.
Failure of the Touch Screen
Even if a touch-screen fails or is damaged, we can usually still get
you going.
In our efforts to remain the world’s number one supplier of mobile ice
bath systems, we have continued to improve reliability, but we have
also engineered ways to ensure that no matter what happens in the
eld, in most cases you can still use your iCool for that important
event. Realistically, even the best electronic systems occasionally have
problems, especially in portable systems that have a relatively hard life
and where water and heat are involved.
Fortunately, we have very few such problems, but as an added benet
we have built into all iCool’s a complete manual override system that
allows your iCool to operate effectively even if parts of the electronics
fail for whatever reason. We do not publish this over ride information
in the manual because it is a little different from model to model, but
in the rare event that you ever have a failure of the electronics or the
touch screen which prevents you from operating your iCool, just call or
e-mail the local iCool representative in your country, or our international
number or go to our web site and we will give you instructions on how to
use the manual over ride facility on your particular model.
At www.iCoolSport.com you will nd a listing of representatives
around the world, or you can request a reply directly from our factory
in Australia. You will be contacted promptly and we will explain how
to work around your problem until we can arrange repairs. This is an
important service that we hope you never need, but it’s good to know
it is there. In addition to this service you will be pleased to know that
your iCool is of a modern modular design, which means that most
components can be easily replaced in the eld and often by the owner.
UNDERSTANDING THE HEATING MODE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
If you have a DUAL TEMP model it can also heat your pool and because
it heats by modern heat pump technology and it does so using as much
as 70% less electricity than conventional spa heaters.
For safety reasons you can only initiate the heating mode at the time
the unit is rst switched on. You can not change to heating while you are
using it in the cooling mode. You must switch off at the main switch rst.
Turn on the unit at the main switch and when the main screen appears,
touch the CHANGE TEMPERATURE button. On the screen that appears
use the up down arrows to select the hot temperature you require up
to 42ºC (or 108ºF) and then touch the START button. This takes you
back to the main operating screen where you can now start the PUMP
and the SYSTEM as usual. The status bar lights will turn RED when you
touch the START button to indicate that your iCool is now heating. It will
continue to heat until it reaches your pre set temperature and then hold
that temperature for as long as you wish.
If the lights turn red but you wanted to cool, it is because you have
set a temperature higher than the current pool temperature so the
system “thinks” you want to heat the water. So start again by setting a
temperature that is lower than the current water temp. Once you start
the system and the lights are green, then you can set any temperature
you need and your iCool will remain in the cooling mode.
You must use a pool cover when heating the water.
We all understand heat rises and so you must use a cover on top of your
pool when heating it or you will lose a large amount of the heat energy
into the room and it will take much longer to heat the water.
If the status bar lights turn red when you start a cooling cycle.
For safety reasons the system will not change from heating mode to
cooling mode or cooling to heating unless you re start it by turning the
main power off and back on. Then it will operate in the mode you rst set.
